Q: This seems to say that we should never to make a vow of any kind. What about marriage? It is based upon a vow.
Jesus made this statement to counter the popular forms of swearing an oath, all of which involved invoking something or someone you have no control over. A Christian should so be known for honesty that only a simple statement is enough. Jehovah Witnesses take this to mean that we shouldn't even swear to tell the truth in a court of law.
